Nephews and Nieces

I’ve been babysitting my little nephew, Sébastien, for the
past week.My brother had to work last
minute and his girlfriend new shift is 8 to 5. Oh how I love this little
one.Well, he’s not that little anymore.
He is 3.8 years old. We are having a blast! The kids get along so well. I love
that my brother lives close and we can see each other when we want to.

I am from, what
you would call, a “broken home” or a “blended family”.I have a total of 10 nephews and nieces,
with two more in the making. I honestly
think that they are all precious. I love them all to pieces. They bring a lot
of life in family reunions. It does bring me back to when we were young and
running around with my cousins. As of now, the nephews outnumber the nieces.

My brother’s
girlfriend is expecting a little girl, Ellie (said in French) for the end of
this month.My husband brother’s wife is
expecting a baby for December.We will have
to wait for the birth to know the sex of this one.They want to keep it a surprise.

How many
nephews and nieces do you have? Are you close to them? One more than the other?

That is quite a range! I'm sure it an be interesting. Two of my cousins (twin) are 2 years older then my youngest aunt on my dad side. They would always tease her and called her "ma tante" (Aunty) in high school. She hated it! lol

Oh don't talk about Christmas shopping! It could get expensive! On my side, we only buy gifts for the kids now. ON my husband side we picks name between the adults. Then buy for the kids. We have now put a limits to $20-$25 each as there's too many now! Then add the gas for travelling and my girls. Yep Christmas is expensive! That why we have already started our gifts ;)

I only have 2 brothers with no sisters but I do have 2 nephews and 4 nieces. I do wish I had a sister though and younger nieces and nephews. My youngest niece is 12years old. Sounds like you have a great family. I wonder what the surprise baby will be. :)

I have one of each. They are both younger. I'm very close to both of them. My sister and I are only 15 months apart. We DO have a great family :) I also can't wait to see what the surprise baby will be ;)
